| Return to Brian A. Kilgore Photographer | |
| Real pictures of real people: These are portraits taken for a
variety of clients, photographed in Toronto, and, for the Prosciutto and
the Bar-B-Q Ducks, in Palo Alto and Chinatown in San Francisco.
Stock photography may be cheaper -- or it may cost just as hiring me. But what is guaranteed when you use stock photos is that your brochure, your ad, your web site will look fake, and your credibility will be called into question. |

Photographed at the Ontario Flower Growers Co-operative to show the quality control manager, and provide an idea of the large number of Ontario flowers being shipped internationally. |
 A great many of the ducks barbecued in San Franciso's Chinatown come
from King Cole, in Aurora, just north of Toronto. These men distribute
ducks in California. |

I went to Palo Alto to photograph Ontario proscuitto. The distributor gave us the name of a restaurant, and customers became willing models. This man teaches at Stanford University, and is originally from Canada. While photographers who specialize in food -- the men and women who do the covers of Gourmet -- coat the food to make it better, our pictures were perfectly open and honest, which meant we could eat the props when the photography was finished. |
| The Arthritis Society I've taken a lot of portraits and other photographs for The Arthritis Society, for use in Society publications, incorporation into television commercials, for advertisements, and for news releases and other distribution to the media. At left is a society magazine cover, with the model "blue" before she read the article "Beating the Blues" and then glowing and golden as she learns more aobut controlling her arthritis. My work with Arthrits people has included children six years old and, below, Burd McNeice, when he turned 100. He's the oldest man I've photographed. And below, left, is one of dozens of photographs I've taken in research centers and hospitals. |

 ENGINEERING
-- The photograph on the left demonstrates wave soldering at the
Nortel networks factory in Brampton. A decade after I left the
company as Director of Public Affairs, I was back on teh floor shooting
this magazine cover.
On the right, Doctor John Evans, at the back, is with baby Ian, in a ventilator Dr. Evans designed. His doctorate is in engineering, and he was being honored for his work creating and managing medical devices at Toronto's Hospital for Sick Children. |
